Common proper motion binary star in the constellation Ursa Minor
Pi1 Ursae Minoris
[14] is a
common proper motion
binary star
[15] system in the northern
circumpolar constellation of
Ursa Minor . The pair have
apparent visual magnitudes of +6.58 and +7.31, with a combined magnitude of 6.1.
[2] They are located about 71
light years from the
Sun . The two have an
angular separation of 31.4
arc seconds ,
[15] which corresponds to a physical separation of about 680
AU ,
[16] and orbit each other with a
period of about 13,100 years.
[9]
Both stars are
solar analogs and have been listed as possible members of the
Hercules-Lyra association , one of the nearest
moving groups to the
Sun ,
[16] although this is now considered unlikely.
[17] The primary, π1 Ursae Minoris A, has a mass 2% higher than the sun, an almost identical
effective temperature at 5,771
K , a radius 98% of
the sun's , and a
bolometric luminosity 93% of
the sun's . The secondary, π1 Ursae Minoris B, has a mass 92% of the sun's, a slightly lower temperature of 5,408 K , a radius 84% of the sun's, and a luminosity slightly over half of the sun.
